This is long term and usual practice and not related to covid.
Is their a good source about how airlines are fined for letting passengers on flights where they're not supposed to? Like the original source documents? I read everywhere about $10,000 fines, but can't seem to find the legislation/regulation that states this, and would imagine it would be different depending on destination and circumstances.
Thanks!
